GDT: Canucks host leaves: Apr 20 6pm SN

Post by Cornuck »

I wasn't expecting to make another GDT so soon, but here we are.

I guess the big question is, "Does Holtby have another game stealing performance in him?"

With the leaves warming up for their annual end-of-season-choke, and the Canucks playing with no pressure, we have a chance to grab another 2 points tonight. This would contribute to Vancouver's classic "get the fans hopes up and fall short" tradition. ;) But being 10 points out, it's going to take a huge streak to build that excitement.

Can Canucks Use Inspiring Win as a Springboard to Playoffs?
tl;dr "Probably not."

Let's tune in tonight and see where Captain Bo leads the team!

GO CANUCKS GO!

It will be tough. Laughs might buckle down some) or not :)

Sounds like Demko is ready to dress tonight. Guessing they run with Holtby again as the starter.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Nylander was late for a team meeting yesterday and was therefore expected to be scratched by the media.

But nope, he's playing tonight.

A year ago Coach Sheldon Keefe benched Kapanen for the same thing.

A coupla years prior Kadri was benched for dat dere by the previous coach, as per team policy.

Nice message to send to the team: "If we consider you a star, you are above the rules."

Ball-less fucking Sheldon, he's the exact opposite of Torts, reap what you sow Shelly, reap what you sow...

Is it ok for another leaves player to get hurt? Maybe not by a Canuck player.
